I had this discussion with the wife. Most likely our girls are not going to college unless Hillsdale is within our means. Looks more like trade schools.
Both Bill Gates and the Facebook guy couldn’t handle four years at Harvard. Snobs, Elizabeth Warren types.
That $49,000 tuition per semester won’t be commensurately reduced. Oh, no – perish that thought.

Agree. And I heard that foreign student sign up for American universities is way down — which is a huge financial hit to them.
I live near the University of Georgia (UGA). It will be interesting to see if students come back or not.
UGA will open, and an interesting change is that the university will do “distance learning” from Thanksgiving to the end of the year.
The last football game of the season is a homegame against Georgia Tech — two days after Thanksgiving.
Harvard is probably only doing this to appease the Boston Liberals and appease the “you-must-wear-a-mask” fanatics.
Fancy payday loan stores. Instead of a car title they hold your birth certificate.
I can’t wait until the good teachers go rouge and set up their own course inventory.
The good news is the annoying left wing profs and students will have no physical place to march if they are getting an online education. Love that we don’t have to see them and they are stuck behind a computer screen. They can throw that brick at their computer screen and, like a tree falling in the forest, there will be no one there to hear it....other than their parents who were suckered by the university into paying 49 grand
Great idea.
I have an old Casio Men’s Pathfinder Triple Sensor Multi-Func... watch that is pushing being a decade old. It still works off of the daylight, gets set by the national atomic watch..
It is waterproof, shockproof and even my adult sons can’t destroy them with rigorous outdoor activities.
I can buy the replacement for $149.62.
Critical race and gender thoery....racial economy of space and resources...ya think this guy knows anything else? Sounds really complicated.(sarc on)
I have a Seiko Kinetic that is 20 years old now. Works great.
I also still have my Seiko that I got for a college grad present. If I put a battery in it, it would work.
Just in order to boot Trump, they are going along with having primarily freshmen on campus, while having the classes online.
And the real truth is that most in-class courses aren’t all that enhanced by being in-class. Harvard especially is famous for its lower-level courses being taught by relatively big names in big lecture halls, while TAs handle more of the smaller upper-classman studies.
But Harvard students are there primarily for two things: the connections and the brand degree. Most critical connections are made as fellow freshmen, since that’s when the abiding friendships are made, and, wait for it, the freshman will still be on campus together this fall.
Moreover, most Harvard parents are wealthy and the money is worth it in their eyes, even if junior takes some online classes. Those parents who are not have their kiddos on scholarship, so who are they to complain?
The issue, as was on track anyway, is with bad schools with bad students, racking up debt their degrees will never pay for.
My wife was an active RN for most of her adult life.
She needed a watch with a second hand for a lot of office pre and post stuff. Her dress watches last forever, her office watches lasted maybe a year.
I got her a gold Seiko with a readable face and a second hand. It lasted 10 years, and she still uses it.
One of the “pastors” at our church is a college professor. He was instrumental in the invention of a cancer drug. Research is a huge part of universities.
I got a Citizen Eco-drive watch as a gift two years ago. Very sharp looking. Love the fact that it runs on light. It is also never wrong because its radio controlled. When I go between time zones, it automatically sets to the correct time. I still wear my Kinetic too, about 60% of the time.
